supervisor: wait up to 15s for a killed sandbox cgroup to empty - #1628
Raise the supervisor's CGROUP_TERMINATION_TIMEOUT from 3 seconds to 15 seconds. After a kill, cgroup teardown can still be freeing guest memory; a longer allowance avoids restarting the whole durable cleanup attempt solely because the cgroup did not empty within 3 seconds. The poll interval remains 50 milliseconds, with no blocking-work permit held between polls.
This is independent of #1627, which now requests nonblocking durable node-delete admission so the API dispatcher does not wait for physical cleanup.
Validation
Rebased onto current main without changing the timeout behavior.
This does not prove that a cgroup under real memory pressure will empty within 15 seconds. No comparable load or memory-pressure rerun was performed.
The typed stall scenario in #1732 tests dispatcher independence from stalled node cleanup, not the effectiveness of this longer cgroup allowance.
Severity and risk
Severity: repeated timeout-driven cleanup attempts can add work to already pressured hosts.
Risk: a cgroup that never empties takes 15 seconds rather than 3 seconds to report failure. Failed-launch callers can report their failure later, and node cleanup permits remain occupied longer. The absence of a blocking-work permit between polls does not mean every caller permit has been released. This neither eliminates memory pressure nor fixes a permanently unresponsive kernel task. Revert this PR to restore the prior allowance.
AI assistance: Perplexity Computer drafted the change and updated this description.
CGROUP_TERMINATION_TIMEOUT increases from 3 seconds to 15 seconds. Its documentation now describes cgroup cleanup delays, retry work, and the Stop confirmation budget.
Merge Risk: Moderate · up to e2637
Raising the cgroup drain wait to 15 seconds should reduce repeated cleanup retries when memory reclaim is slow. While a drain is waiting, though, it holds a node-manager cleanup permit. If many sandboxes drain slowly at once, unrelated Stop requests can exceed their 30-second confirmation wait, although their cleanup still completes afterward. The change has no automated coverage for slow drains. Either accept this tradeoff explicitly or separate the drain wait from cleanup admission before relying on it under memory pressure.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title uses the area prefix "supervisor:" followed by a lowercase summary, which matches the required format. It also states the main change: the wait for a killed sandbox cgroup to empty is raised to 15 seconds, which matches CGROUP_TERMINATION_TIMEOUT changing from 3 to 15 seconds. It has no trailing period and no ticket ID. The title is 63 characters and 12 words, which is within the normal range.
Full details: Description Follows The Pr Template
Explanation
The PR description was checked for the four required items. The description text was supplied directly, so no repository tools were needed. 1. "## Summary" section: Present with content. It states that merging raises CGROUP_TERMINATION_TIMEOUT from 3 to 15 seconds and explains why. 2. "## Validation" section: Present with content. It names the pull CI run at e263716f180697910c27f1948557222dbcd03012, records its result as passed, and states the limits of that run. 3. "## Severity and risk" section: Present with content. It has a "Severity:" line that states a severity-level impact (repeated timeout-driven cleanup attempts adding work to pressured hosts). It also has a "Risk:" line describing the effect of a cgroup that never empties. 4. "AI assistance:" line: Present. It reads "AI assistance: Perplexity Computer drafted the change and updated this description," which names the tool and the parts it drafted. No required item is missing or contains only template HTML comments. Per the check, presence is judged, not quality. The severity wording is a descriptive statement rather than a bare level label, but it is non-empty and clearly sits under the required heading, so it satisfies presence.
Full details: Weakened Safeguards Are Justified
Explanation
The check fails only when a diff removes, disables, narrows, or weakens a test, assertion, lint, CI check, repository guard, or allowlist entry, or when review-guidance files gain text about reviews. The reviewed range (refs/coderabbit/pre-merge-check/base..head) changes exactly one file: crates/l40_api/node/runtime/supervisor/src/cgroups.rs. The diff changes CGROUP_TERMINATION_TIMEOUT from Duration::from_secs(3) to Duration::from_secs(15) and adds a doc comment that gives the reason for the change. No test, assertion, lint, CI workflow, #[allow]/#[expect] attribute, deny/allow list, [lints] table, or AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/CONTRIBUTING.md/docs/rust rule is touched. The longer timeout is a runtime behavior change. It is not a weakened safeguard under this check's definition. The CodeRabbit thread about shared CleanupSandbox capacity is a design and availability concern. It does not match any failure condition in this check. Verdict: PASS.
Full details: Agent Tooling Runs No New Commands
Explanation
The check applies to agent plugin manifests, SKILL.md files, command files, and guideline files. The changed-file inventory for the reviewed range contains one file: crates/l40_api/node/runtime/supervisor/src/cgroups.rs, modified. No plugin.json, plugin.yaml, SKILL.md, command, MCP, LSP, hook, AGENTS.md, or CLAUDE.md file is added or changed. A search of the diff's Markdown, JSON, YAML, and TOML files returned no patch content. The change raises CGROUP_TERMINATION_TIMEOUT from 3s to 15s in Rust supervisor code. That is not agent tooling content, and it contains no inline shell substitution or process/server entry. No failure condition applies.
Full details: Public-Safe Content
Explanation
The code diff is clean. It changes one constant in crates/l40_api/node/runtime/supervisor/src/cgroups.rs from 3 to 15 seconds and adds doc comments. A scan of the added lines found no URLs, credentials, personal paths, ARNs, or internal hostnames. The PR description still fails the check. Its footer attribution line links to a Perplexity Computer task session. This is a link to an AI task or chat session. The check fails links to private chats, and such a session is not a public resource. I could not confirm the session's visibility, so this finding rests on the link type. The description does not otherwise contain sensitive content. Prior failure disposition: The earlier claim that the "Severity and risk" section describes a past production incident does not match the current description. The current Severity line states a generic risk ("repeated timeout-driven cleanup attempts can add work to already pressured hosts"). That claim is refuted for the current text. The earlier claim about the task-session link still applies and is not resolved. Locations: the footer attribution line of the PR description (not a file in the diff). The PR description is not a diff file, so no file line applies to it.
Resolution
Edit the PR description footer. Remove the link to the Perplexity Computer task session. Keep the attribution text only if it has no link to a private chat or task. 2. Re-run the check after the edit. Confirm the description has no links to private chats or tasks.
Full details: Bug Fixes Name A Regression Test
Explanation
The check applies because this PR fixes a defect in application behavior under crates/. The change is in crates/l40_api/node/runtime/supervisor/src/cgroups.rs. It raises CGROUP_TERMINATION_TIMEOUT from 3s to 15s. The PR description says the 3s limit causes a spurious failure and a full cleanup retry when the cgroup does not empty in time under memory pressure. That is a defect in timeout behavior, so the fix is treated as a bug fix. The git diff confirms the scope. Only cgroups.rs changed: one constant changed, and a doc comment was added. No test file changed. The Validation section does not meet the check. It names no regression test that fails without the fix and passes with it. It reports only that CI passed. It states that the run does not prove a cgroup under memory pressure empties within 15 seconds, and that no load rerun was done. It also cites #1732 as covering dispatcher independence, not this timeout. The PR does not explain why a regression test cannot be written. No existing test is named as covering the 3s-to-15s behavior. Result: the PR is a bug fix under crates/, and its Validation section names no qualifying regression test or valid exception. The check fails.
Resolution
Update the Validation section to name a regression test, or explain why none can be written and which existing test covers the behavior. A suitable test is a supervisor unit test with a fake or controllable cgroup that empties after about 5 seconds. That test should fail with CGROUP_TERMINATION_TIMEOUT = 3s and pass with 15s. If a unit test cannot model the cgroup drain, state that limit and name the closest existing test. Note that the PR description already lists the load-test gap, so it should either add the test or record why the test is not feasible.

Reviewed at ddf9950. The change is fine for the stop path. Two scope points the description should cover; neither blocks:
terminate_sandbox_cgroups is also called on the launch-failure path (service.rs ~752) and in standalone.rs. A failed launch on a host under memory pressure, which is exactly where the jailer timeouts happened, now holds its launch guards and reports the error up to 12s later. That's probably acceptable, but the description should say so.
"Stays inside sbx-mgr's 30s Stop confirmation budget": that 30s (wait_stop_cleanup_job) covers the whole stop job, including the guest filesystem flush (GUEST_FILESYSTEM_FLUSH_TIMEOUT is 30s on its own) and the SIGTERM grace, not just the cgroup wait. On a slow host, flush plus grace plus 15s can exceed it. The Stop then reports a timeout while the job continues. If that's acceptable, word the claim as "15s is half the Stop budget" rather than "stays inside".

- Line 17: Update the cleanup flow associated with CGROUP_TERMINATION_TIMEOUT so
waiting for a slow cgroup drain does not hold a node-wide CleanupSandbox permit;
preserve per-sandbox cleanup ownership and bounded host work. Identify the
owning layer’s admission and drain-wait boundaries before changing them, and add
an owning-layer regression test if it can faithfully reproduce the
shared-capacity scheduling behavior.

After cgroup.kill the last firecracker thread still has to free its guest
memory. Under host memory pressure that can take longer than 3s, and each miss
returns UNAVAILABLE and redoes the full cleanup attempt after a retry delay,
adding work to the hosts least able to absorb it. 15s stays inside sbx-mgr's
30s Stop confirmation budget.
